NodeQuery is a free monitoring service provider which provides a free, lightweight and easy to use linux server monitoring service. You also will get alerts and actively monitor the performance of your servers. Unfortunately, their website is not accessible since end of Sep (Sep 25, 2021)

In this post, I am going to introduce other four free cloud monitoring service providers as an alterative.
